Paul, I think you intended this for Clive. I am a long time FG user. Clive You also wrote "..when I select any of the resolutions offered (800x600 through to 1280 x 1024)...". You can also override this setting by typing in what ever resolution is correct for your setup even if this spans more than one screen. That is you are not restricted to the resolutions that are offered. Since you are using a three screen setup with TripleHead2Go if you want FG to span those three screens then you would enter the resolution of the combined screens. So if your 3 screens are 1600x1200 each the combined logical screen would be 4800x1200 and this is what you would enter as the resolution in the FG launcher.
